Legislative Memos
Memorandum in Strong Opposition - S.4134 (Parker) / A.279 (Carroll)
We strongly oppose S.4134 (Parker) / A.279 (Carroll). This legislation would, among other provisions, significantly expand the New York Power Authority’s (NYPA) ability to acquire, develop, own, and operate existing and new renewable electric generating facilities and energy storage in this State. NYPA testified in opposition to this bill at a NYS Assembly public hearing, in July of last year, on the role of State authorities in renewable energy development.

Memorandum in Support - S.2585-A (Parker)
IPPNY supports S.2585-A (Parker). This bill passed the Senate unanimously in 2021, and it would further the implementation of the Climate Action Council’s adopted Scoping Plan. The Scoping Plan indicates that the NYS Public Service Commission (PSC), in coordination with the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation, and other agencies “should identify, explore, evaluate, and support the development of dispatchable technologies and solutions as they emerge in support of the Climate Act’s requirements for a zero-emission electricity system by 2040 and for consistency with Section 7(2) and 7(3) of the Climate Act.”

Memorandum in Support - S.1694 (Parker)
IPPNY supports the purpose of S.1694 (Parker), which is to identify technology solutions to address the electric system reliability warnings made by the New York Independent System Operator’s (NYISO) 2021-2040 System & Resource Outlook, released just a few months ago. The NYISO is the federally established entity that ensures electric system reliability requirements are met and that operates competitive wholesale electricity markets in this state. The NYISO has continually provided warnings regarding looming reliability concerns, especially for New York City and Long Island.
